How to fix a Nintendo64? I was looking through some things, and found my old N64... but the problem is... when I put a game in and turned it on, it just... makes a small buzz... Maybe it's to dirty inside? Does anyone know what I should do?

I'm a bit in my cups at the moment.
Was it covered in a crud-load of dust when you found it? If so, you should clean it.

Try cleaning out the game cartrige slot (you ccould get a special cleaning kit to do that with, but you don't have to have it). I don't know if that would fix it, but it's worth a shot.

If it's a dust problem, then it most likely wouldn't be that kind of sound. I'm thinking something shorted out. With dust problems you just have minor glitches in the system like you not being able to control the joystick and the normal cure is just blowing on the inside of the cartridge and the inside of the slot. Given the case that it probably shorted it most likely needs a full maintanance run. The only people who could do that nowadays is either some nintendo branch or that number that comes with all the old nintendo products for maintanace.
(GB color battery patch thingy, GB pocket battery patch thingy, N64 manual)

Well, I tried cleaning it, and no luck... I really don't wanna have to trade it in for a new one... It has sentimental value... *shrugs* I guess I'll just buy one from GameStop... I mean, how much could something as old as a 64 possibly cost?
Well anway, thanks guys. Can't say you didn't atleast try to help. ;)

Yeah, you can probably get one for less than fifty bucks.
